Quick question: Do you just call Canon to send in your Mark III or does the recall only affect certain serial numbers? Sorry, I'm late in all of these.

Well this is depressing. I was hoping every body would still have big problems so I wouldn't have to consider getting the 1D III. All this talk of working AF has made my wife very nervous.

Since they fixed mine so easily with no parts I'm thinking there was some kind of issue with their calibration equipment from the start, and that's why results would vary in the field so much. They really seem to have it figured out now, though. I hope yours, and Emile's end up working as well as mine. If they do, then you will be very happy.
Hey Mark, what SN was your camera if you don't mind me asking?

That's interesting ! You shot in JPG or RAW to see the difference ?
thx
Pure placebo effect I'm 100% certain. I remember hearing the same things about the 1D MK2N vs the MK2 (when they used the exact same aa filter, sensor, digic processing for raw images).
Just like with the MK2(N), if there was an improvement in ISO with this update, Canon would make damn sure you knew about it.
However, if the images are focusing better, and are sharper, that could give the illusion of less noise (since noise appears more prominently in out of focus areas)

Hey I'll buy your 1D3....offer me a price that I can't resist!.
That was really useful and showed real sensitivity.
Seriously, engage Canon technical support. Its a tough to switch to the other side. You have to completely reequip and you have either an ethical dilemma of dumping your nonfunctional 1D3 or writing of ~ $4k.
Good luck. If maverick666 were really serious, I'd sell it to him and make it his problem.
I don't think I said anything wrong.. Lamonica wants to move the darkside, I said if the price is right let me know I'll be interested. I'm sure he has that (moving to the darkside) in his mind.

Ok, let me know if this is strange. My 1D3 was dead on with my 400 2.8 after the last fix. Before the fix, I had used it with my 24-70 for T&I work and it was good. After the fix, my 24-70 front focused. I adjusted to out to a +8 and all is good with the world again...... Just kind of baffled me that's all....
This IS the Dark Side. Nikon had ALWAYS been the leaders and Canon the copiers ~ Canon's reputation was mud so the massive exodus to the Dark Side a few years ago was a phenomenon of supernova proportions and as unexpected.
